Framing the Investment

What Your Investment Protects

A Lake Tahoe estate is one of your most valuable assets, and mountain winters are hard on an empty home. A frozen pipe, a failed lift or a missed storm check can cost far more than a year of dedicated care. Our retainer is an investment in protecting that asset and giving you back your time.

Your Property

Issues are caught early, long before they become costly emergency repairs.

Long-Term Value

Consistent, documented care preserves the condition and value of your estate.

Your Time

One trusted couple replaces a dozen vendors, calls and follow-ups.

Your Privacy

Background checked, discreet and happy to sign your NDA.

Your Arrivals

Every visit begins with a home that is open, stocked and ready.

Peace of Mind

Everything documented in your private client portal, nothing forgotten.

Your Proposal

What Shapes Your Investment

Questions

Engagement FAQ

What does the monthly retainer include?

One monthly fee covers weekly walkthroughs, reports in your private client portal, vendor scheduling, seasonal prep, arrival setup and being on call when you need us, along with the ongoing care of your home, grounds, dock and boats.

What’s the difference between a retainer and home watch?

A retainer means we’re your dedicated caretakers for one property, handling everything. Home watch is regular check-ins and care for second or vacation homes while you’re away.

What is the opening fee for?

The one-time opening fee covers a full walkthrough of your property and the creation of your custom estate manual, including your master maintenance list and vendor directory. If you already have a manual, we replicate it, add to it and update it.

Do you work as a couple or individually?

Both. Most estates are cared for by both of us as a caretaking couple, and Tiffani is also available on her own as your dedicated estate manager and caretaker for the home and grounds.

Are add-on services included in the retainer?

Add-on services such as captained days, catering, events and organization projects are quoted individually, so you only pay for what you use.

Do you live on the property?

We can live on-site when housing is provided, or care for your home from our own housing in Incline Village.

Do you travel?

Our focus is the North Lake Tahoe region, including the East and West Shores. For the right engagement we’re happy to travel, and travel is included in the quote.

Can you captain our boat?

Yes. Along with dock, lift and boat care, Shawn, our U.S. Coast Guard certified captain, captains your own boat or offers private charters through his company, Surf Incline.

Are you background checked, and how do you protect our privacy?

Yes, we are background checked. Your home, schedule and information are kept strictly confidential, NDAs are signed on request, and references and licensing are available, including Shawn’s U.S. Coast Guard captain’s license.

How do we get started?

Call or text (831) 238-3761, or send a short request online. If we’re a good fit, we schedule a walkthrough of your home and send you a written proposal.

Begin With a Private Consultation

We accept a limited number of estates each year. A short conversation is the first step to learning whether we're the right fit for your home.
